Rick Rubin strikes again

Analysis: Metallica's Death Magnetic Sounds Better in Guitar Hero
[via Dailyswarm]
According to this analysis, audiophiles would be better off recording the songs from the videogame than buying the album because the Guitar Hero version has far more dynamic range than the hyper-compressed CD version.

If you're an audio file, you're probably not buying the album in the first place. It's also utterly ironic that a video game is highlighting the band's total irrelevancy, considering the way they infamously railed against new media at the turn of the century.

And no, I'm not bitter because I got caught with a "Master of Puppets" mp3.



Speaking of autotune, the production team went to town with the robotics, making Hetfield sound like Wall-E. Where are the killer riffs? Attitude? Backmasked Satanic messages?

And this video... Yawwwwn.
What the fuck is going on here? Have you ever seen a band prove that they are just a fucking shell of the artist you once loved? I would say this is it, but that god damn Mission Impossible song a few years back already took the torch on that one.
